Publisher's summary

Focus your Spanish learning on the most frequently used verbs. Learn just the 100 verbs you need for everyday life to talk about the past, the present, and the future.

One of the usual mistakes when learning a foreign language is that the student has no priorities. All the unknown verbs get the same attention.

Actually, to communicate, you only need 100 verbs in any language. These verbs are the most frequently used and can be defined using an algorithm that provides the ranking. In this book, you'll find the list.

This book will provide you with the 100 verbs you have to learn first to get around when traveling or interacting with Spanish-speaking people.

The phrases are presented in a very simple fashion: Past, Present, and Future. No complications with the so many different conjugations and their weird names. Straight and simple.

So, don't waste your time and energy! Focus your effort on the most important verbs you have to learn to master Spanish!

All the most useful verbs in Spanish!

This is the first in a series of audible language learning books that I've purchased that I can say I'm pleased with. The book does exactly what it promises. It's straight to the point, going over a dozens of the most essential verbs, using the same sentence in I, YOU, HE/SHE, WE, THEY, YOU (plural), each in present, past and future. There are 36 phrases per verb. My only wish is that there was some sort of PDF document or something for reference; pretty much a transcript of the audio. I am mostly pleased however by the choice of verbs included.

Only 80 verbs?,some grammatical/translation errors

A great idea, much higher yield than conjugating umpteen tenses of a few verbs.
However, be aware that only contains, by my count, 80 verbs, which is a bummer, since it appears to be false advertising.
Also, conjugation is in present, only one of the 2 Spanish past tenses (the preterit) and only one of the Spanish future tense forms. This is an understandable simplification, but leads to some problems (see grammatical errors example, below).

Some grammatical errors:
1. Used preterit in verb "correr" when imperfect (the other Spanish past tense) would have been correct. In the audiobook "Nosotros corrimos todos los dias," which should be "Nosostros corriamos todos los dias." (I am unable to do proper accent symbol on my keybord).

2. "Acordar" present conjugation is actually preterit (i.e. past), which is repeated again in the past section.

3. "Servir" present for Ustedes is "sirve" instead of "sirven" (or was the 'n' just too soft?)


Some translation errors:
1. "We rised the glass" instead of "We raised the glass."

Other issues:
Verbs "jugar" and "golpear" are mentioned, but not conjugated.

to appear- aparecer, but then actual verb example conjugated is parecer (also, use imperfect, correctly, in this example- ?only time this past tense used in entire audiobook)

TOO FAST

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I've already purchased it so I'll take the time to go back and forth until I learn the verbs however, I would not recommend this book for a beginner. The words and sentences are jammed together with no time to repeat what you have heard. So stand by to stop and start all the way through if you want to get anything out of this audio book.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Slow it down with pauses for the learner to repeat what they have heard.

Should say "Latin Spanish" not "Spanish"

I feel that Spanish should always include the VOSOTROS form, even if it is not used in certain parts of the world, because it is in fact part of the language. This book does NOT include the vosotros form, which I find the most difficult to pronounce and the reason I need an audible drill book. I understand that it is a tense not used in Latin America, but the language of Spanish includes this form and it is widely used in Spain. For those who are studying Spanish in Spain NEED to learn this tense. If it is a "language learning book" it should include ALL the forms and then it is up to the user to decide which is appropriate to use. Even if the vosotros form is not used, it still needs to be understood. Furthermore, if they did not want to include this form it should clearly state it on the book cover or in the description.

Not clear

Too fast....can't distinguished the ending it misses the purpus. It wasn't worth the time or money to me. Perhaps someone else could hear the different endings, I couldn't.
